Rest in Peace Cousin Christopher. I know you will find peace and the joy we all look for in the eternal comfort of God's heart.
To Peggy and Manny and Alexa and family. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Christopher's service here was really beautiful with the little children of Korea all praying him. It seemed to bridge the time and miles.
Peace from Korea,
Cousin Mark Cauffman MEd
